Kitsch Research and Animation

Kitsch is a German word that literally means ‘in bad taste’. When designers use the term kitsch, they are usually referring to art that is considered to be excessively garish or in poor taste. It usually uses colours that don’t compliment each other and could be considered tasteless or pretentious.

The following are examples of kitsch:
